Owner Comments:

This is a very nice coin, and has very nice luster and strike given it's the first year of issue (at least for the low-relief). This year is an ironic issue, as it was the first year of production but also the last year of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' life. Despite the artist's (yes he was an artist, not a designer) desire for the beauty of the high-relief version of the coin, prudence and bankers demanded a more user friendly coin. This coin was the result, as adjusted by another famous coin designer, Charles E. Barber.
